The Company is also pleased to announce the nomination of two new independent mining industry veterans who will stand for election as nominees to Falco's Board of Directors at the upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders, scheduled for November 24, 2015.

HORNE COMPLEX INFRASTRUCTURE EVALUATION

The Company has conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the existing infrastructure on its Horne Complex property.

A preliminary assessment of the existing infrastructure suggests that the Company will be able to utilize the existing Quémont #4 shaft as its production shaft, and 3 of the Horne shafts (#4, #6 & #8) as ventilation raises. The Quémont #4 shaft will need to be rehabilitated to current production standards, however it will not have to be widened to accommodate larger skips.

The historical workings located in the upper portion of the ore body offer several openings where waste material and tailings could be sent and disposed of. These openings will enable the Company to minimize the impact on surface and manage tailings efficiently.

The evaluation estimates the capital cost savings to be upwards of $100mm in direct and indirect costs. Additionally, the existing infrastructures will enable the Company to further accelerate the development timeline of the Horne 5 deposit.

"The work program results at the Horne 5 Project continue to confirm the tremendous potential," said Luc Lessard, President and CEO. "The availability of the existing infrastructure represents a major breakthrough for the Company as this will be pivotal in unlocking the potential of the project and positioning the Company for the future."

UNDERGROUND WATER SAMPLING RESULTS

The Company is pleased to report initial results on the quality of groundwater in the flooded Quémont #4 shaft. The water sampling operation was initiated by measuring the physico-chemical parameters (pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and redox) in the water columns while descending a probe to a depth of 1,000 meters in the flooded shaft. This was completed nine times to obtain reliable data. No obstacles were encountered during the probe ascension and descent.

Water quality in the shaft is homogeneous to a depth of 600 meters. It contains mostly sulfates (approximately 1% by weight), calcium, magnesium, sodium and iron, the latter gives a yellowish to rusty brown color to the water. Iron and zinc exceed their respective Quebec effluent water quality criteria. The conductivity increases with depth to reach around 11 000 mS/cm at the bottom of the shaft, which is consistent with the presence of soluble metals in the water. In the intervals sampled, the shaft water pH is slightly below the effluent limit (pH 5.6 vs pH 6.0 which is the lower limit of Directive 019).

A water treatment procedure is planned for a future underground dewatering. Neutralization will be needed to reach the lower pH limit, however the Company and its consultants believe neutralization will be minimal and that standard equipment and technology could be utilized. It is expected that water treatment for attenuation of iron and zinc will be straightforward.

Below the 600 meter interval the pH increases to reach 6.5 at the bottom of the shaft. The variations observed in the readings at shallow depth could be explained by the influence of surface water infiltration.

NEW INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR NOMINEES

The two new independent mining industry veterans to stand for election as part of a seven-person Board of Directors at Falco's annual and special meeting of shareholders, scheduled for November 24, 2015 are Mr. Mario Caron, and Mme. Helene Cartier.
